Darker, more indulgent territory awaits in Xs Black Cologne, Paco Rabanne's spin built around considerable spiced sweetness rather than typical freshness. Lemon and sage open the composition briefly before giving way to a much warmer heart, an unusual structure for a men's fragrance. Praline, cinnamon, tolu balsam, and black cardamom crowd the center into a rich, almost dessert like accord with real spice behind it. Patchouli, Brazilian rosewood, and black amber close things out in a deep, resinous base designed for serious longevity. As an oriental spicy gourmand fragrance, Xs Black suits evening wear and cold weather occasions especially well, where its intensity feels entirely appropriate rather than overwhelming. Paco Rabanne designed this cologne for men who want real boldness in their signature scent, and a single spray typically carries its warmth for many hours after application. This darker flanker pairs naturally with cooler months when its dessert like warmth feels most at home.
